affected graphics settings:
maxed out

DLAA or DLSS any preset, native AA
Resolution: 4k 16:9
reproducible: yes
affects: framerate, playability
severity: high
description:
I believe that the micro stuttering issues are not fully solved as reported here and need further investigation.
framerate drops appear to be more severe and prone under certain conditions as reported in linked thread below.
And it seems that limiting framerate as per example does contribute to remediate it by far, whilst not solving the issue.
comparing my personal experience with other players in our playing party. playing the game in 4k resolution (high resolution textures installed) are affected, while lower resolutions such as QWHD are not affected or lots lesser.
This might explain a high rate of posts that report similar issues on otherwise decent configurations.
It is clear this game offers a lot of technical bells and whistles, and drivers might not be absolutely polished yet, and there are dozens of reasons for performance issues if not specific, yet there seems to be a common reason and as such I would like to classify it as a bug / regression.
Thank you for your time and consideration!
